Edition 2025 — Alimena Holy Week

In 2025, the Holy Week in Alimena renewed its most ancient rites: the polyphonic lamentanze from Palm Sunday, the performance of the Agniduzzu Nnuccenti on Holy Wednesday, and the Casazza, leading up to the Good Friday Urn procession. The 4th edition of the Casazza took place on April 19, 2025, confirming the vitality of this Madonie tradition.

The 2025 Edition

The 2025 Holy Week in Alimena saw the community gather around its traditional rites in the village of the Madonie, in the province of Palermo. The lamentanze echoed from Palm Sunday until Good Friday, at the altars of repose and during the processions.

On Holy Wednesday, the performance of the Agniduzzu Nnuccenti took place, with the participation of local lamentatori. The 4th edition of the Casazza, the sacred representation of the Passion organized by the "A Casazza" Association, was held on April 19, 2025. Good Friday concluded with the solemn procession of the glass urn containing the statue of Christ, from the Mother Church to the Calvary.
